On the local board there was good buying
by millers for immediate grinding and, as
usual, there was not enough old wheat of the
better grades to go round. Sample tables
were literally covered, the greater share of
the 1852 cars received being displayed. Prices
were almost 12c better on good milling
wheat. Shipments since Saturday were S3
cars. Duluth received 200 cars. The annual
sale of sample tables on change was post.

Note-New wheat sells several cents below
old wheat of the same grade, as the present
demand is chiefly milling demand and new
wheat is not sufficiently matured for making
flour. The difference is greater in lower
grades.
NoTE-In sales of wheat by sample, grade
has little, If any, effect in making prices,
that being determined by quality and the
percentage of hard in each parcel.
NoTE-Shippers would do well not to ship
new wheat until 1t has gone through the
sweat as it frequently sweats in the car
and inspects a lower grade
